Following the official release of the all-new DIMENSE DA-640 wide-format dimensional surface printer, Roland DG has extended the functionality of its Roland DG Connect Designer to better accommodate the extended design capacity of the DA-640, such as preset embossing effects, file preparation, and visualisation for creating textured output on the dimensional printer. Ryugo Nimura, President of Roland DG’s Global Sales and Marketing Division, states that Dimense DA-640 enables the on-demand printing of unique, dimensional surface designs, so is a powerful solution for print service providers, architects and designers when looking to address the growing demand for bespoke experiences and to pursue their own style, in commercial and hospitality environments, residential spaces, entertainment, and retail design.
This new-generation software was developed to make it easier and more efficient for those users, bringing different objectives, skills, and experience levels, to use our inkjet printers. The new module enables users to tailor their design workflow by installing modular features specific to the Dimense, so that they can activate only the functions they need, thereby simplifying operations and reducing costs, according to Ryugo. DIMENSE solution consists of newly developed printheads to optimise output, plus specialised media that rises up to 2mm in thickness when exposed to the heat in the printer, and a structural ink that precisely controls where the embossing occurs on the print.
